Just messing around with some Coleus leaves on a wet day ! :biggrin:
Composite - some duplicated. Maybe not in the right gallery.
D200 Sigma 50mm macro
125th @f11 Levels etc.

PS Just realised - when I resized the large one I forgot to sharpen it !!

Keep messing John. :wink: It's an interesting abstract. Only suggestion, and purely for my tastes and maybe mine alone would be to tuck the leave stems under another leaf or eliminate them.

Beautiful color John and I like the comp. I'm not sure about the stems and I think Bob's idea is very interesting. I might consider hiding a few of them anyway. There are some dust spots that I'd probably clone out. The black bg is perfect of course for the reds. Outstanding image.

Good point about the stems. Thanks. I could have cut them off I suppose. I'll try another !
Cheers

I like the layout, and the bold colors against black.

John:
Bold colors. This would be a good subject for scan as it is all flat. Like Bob' suggestion of tucking in the stem.

Gorgeous colot and it really stands out on that bg. I agree with the stem-tucking suggestions. I really like the pattern you've created. Nice job
